Caregiver Shout-Out!

This Shout-Out goes from pulmonary hypertension patient Patricia Bon to her caregiver and husband, Vic.

Patricia Bon honors her husband and caregiver, Vic.

Without Vic's determination and encouragement, I would not have made it this far. When I was diagnosed 10 years ago, I was devastated that I had this rare disease. But every day, every moment, year after year, Vic kept pushing me and encouraging me to do the best I can.

With the help of my wonderful doctors and Vic, I have pushed on. It has been a long 10 years with tiresome journeys through the maze of procedures and many doctor visits. They were filled with disappointment with each new finding. But now I take one day at a time, with constant reassurances from my wonderful husband.

Within the last several months, I started to pray that I might survive this disease, and each day I am motivated by Vic to never stop believing.
